Quick Update
Swamped at work today along with the 34 other projects I have going on right now. All will be revealed soon, stay tuned.
Yo, the HFSestival line up does not suck that majorly. ECHO AND THE EFFING BUNNYMEN!
Beth and I ventured to Gaitherburg, MD last night (hometown of my first girlfriend in college, Kristen Johns if you're out there - get at me!) for the Who Put The M in Manchester in theatre screening, or as the ticket itself said "Who Put The M in Man". It was cool seeing a 30 foot tall Mozzer and I cannot lie...I got goosebumps when they broke into Everyday Is Like Sunday after the brief Subway Train intro. The DVD itself is great, although the version of Jack The Ripper is kinda substandard (for my tastes anyways) and he didn't use the "This song is from the 80's...The 1880's" intro. *Shakes Fist*
But it's def. worth your money in this Moz fan's opinion. Best part? HFS was there giving away various freebies and I scored a copy of the DVD! Now I just need to go cop the CD tonight.
Ree Dick You Luss. Pre sales can suck it IMHO.
DCeiver keeps the 24/Go-Betweens train rolling right along. But we'll have to wait for Stereogum to pick this tidbit up before anyone else notices. :)
Productshop NYC has that new, new Radiohead that you're looking for, complete with lyrics.
Hello Kettle? This is the Pot. You're black. Listen to this shite from the Killers:
"Look at a band like The Bravery. They're signed because we're a band," Flowers declared. "I've heard rumours about [members of] that band being in a different kind of band, and how do you defend that? If you say, 'My heart really belongs to what I'm doing now,' but you used to be in a ska band. I can see The Strokes play or Franz Ferdinand play and it's real, and I haven't gotten that from The Bravery. I think people will see through them."
Puh-lease. He should have just said "Uh-Oh. We are no longer the hot shit at Island. Some other band does our sound better than us and now the label is gonna sell lots of their records. And we're out of singles. Fuck. Where's my makeup?"
Central Village righly wonders what Duran Duran thinks of the Killers "original" sound. Anti Meat Eater Lab has a Mylo remix of the Killers. I call dibs for bluestate. At this rate, my next set will be 40% Mylo stuff.
PS - Might I also add that Somebody Told Me was a straight up hijacking of Blur's Girls & Boys, and a weak one at that.
glad you didn't hate it. was a bit worried. heh.
meanwhile, yes, off with the killers' heads is what.
Girls & Boys? Nah. The bass riffs have some similarity, but it ends there, in my opinion.
I kind of see ILB's point, though. The choruses of each are stylistic cousins from a songwriting perspective--the way each line's tag end fronts the ensuing line, and the nod to gender identity.
matt: i hear ya w/ the k's. saturated more than real butter.
moz film just so cool. didn't score dvd. waah. they (stupid 91x radio station) were making us "sing" and strike moz poses, and i couldn't work up the moxie for it. but then afterwards i thought i could've done a good "int'l playboy", making my voice crack like moz's, or a smith's "bigmouth". oh well.
thanks for the link on this in the first place. wouldn't've even known it was in san diego w/o it.
Echo and the Bunnymen are simply binoculars in concert, btw. Saw them a few years back, and it was like a flashback to 1986. Note perfect.
I don't think I am the Kristen Johns you are looking for but that is my name so hi. love the site. bravo zulu. have a good one . later
